The One Show viewers were left cringing during Wednesday’s episode as they called out guest Jennifer Aniston’s ‘attitude’ towards host Jermaine Jenas.
The Friends star, 52, joined fellow actress Reese Witherspoon, 45, on the show via video call to discuss the new series of their Apple TV+ programme The Morning Show with Jermaine, 38, and co-host Zoe Ball, 50.
However, fans were quick to brand the chat ‘awkward’ and called out Jennifer’s reaction to Jermaine’s line of questioning, with one claiming the star ‘doesn’t like the presenter at all!’

During the chat, Jennifer was asked about going behind the scenes of a real life TV show to get inspiration for her own show.
The actress appeared somewhat distracted as she replied: ‘I learned the slow burn that it is. It’s a very vampire state of life and mind that you guys live in. Everybody comes alive in the middle of the night and it’s a slow-moving train.’
She went on: ‘I got there at five in the morning and the hallways were quiet and people are just slowly waking up and then all of a sudden, the train starts moving and it gets crazier and crazier. It’s utter chaos.’
She was then interrupted by Jermaine who proceeded to ask Reese a question while alluding to Jennifer not being a morning person.

He said: ‘Reese I’ve got to be honest with you Jennifer’s pretty much sold it to me that she’s not a morning person.’
To which an alarmed Jennifer responded: ‘Did I sell that to you?’, with Jermaine remarking: ‘A little bit, a little bit.’
Not looking too impressed, Jennifer then added: ‘Did I get a good deal?’ as Jermain awkwardly laughed the moment off.
Keen to move the conversation along, Jermaine returned to her pal, asking: ‘So what about you Reese?’

To which she replied: ‘No, I’m definitely a morning person. Jen and I talk about this all the time. I’m the morning person and she’s more of a night person.
‘So it actually works out because I do kind of the early morning scenes and then by four o’clock I’m toast.
‘And then Jen starts around 11 and 12 and then she can do the night scenes because I can’t even think straight past 4pm.’
Watching the scenes unfold, fans quickly took to Twitter to comment on the ‘awkward’ interview and Jennifer’s ‘attitude’ towards the former footballer.

‘Did anyone else catch Jennifer Anniston’s negative reaction to the male presenter regarding the morning person bit? Awkward’ wrote a third.
A fourth person asked: ‘Am I sensing a wee ‘attitude’ here?’
To which someone responded: ‘From Jennifer 100% awkward! She doesn’t like the male presenter at all’.
MailOnline have contacted Jennifer’s representatives for comment.
In April Jermaine was announced as one of The One Show’s new flagship presenters after a slew of guest stints, replacing former host Matt Baker, who left the series in 2020.
The retired footballer joined Ronan Keating as alternating hosts alongside Alex Jones, who is currently on maternity leave.
The sportsman said that he was ‘really looking forward’ to joining the show as a full time host, saying: ‘I’ve absolutely loved being a part of The One Show, Alex, the team and the viewers have made me feel so welcome and we’ve had a lot of fun already.’
Ahead of his The One Show stint, Jermaine had made regular appearances on Match Of The Day and BT Sport.
Moving on: Keen to move the conversation along, Jermaine returned to her pal, asking: ‘So what about you Reese?’, To which she replied: ‘No, I’m definitely a morning person!’
Last month a trailer for the hotly anticipated second season of The Morning Show aired, ahead of its premiere on September 17.
In the teaser Jennifer is back as news anchor Alex Levy, who tries to forge her own path after leaving her TV network UBA.
Meanwhile, Reese’s Bradley Jackson tries to lead the morning show in the wake of a bombshell investigation about corruption and harassment at the network.
The clip also shows reporters grappling with the news of 2020, captured figuring out how to handle reporting on the pandemic, racial injustice and the #MeToo movement.
Bradley is seen throwing her weight around, saying: ‘In case you forgot, I’m the whistle-blower. I’m going to get everything I want.’
The teaser also reveals the arrival of new characters Julianna Margulies, Greta Lee, and Hasan Minhaj.
And in one particularly sharp moment, Lee’s character Stella Bak tells Aniston: ‘Nine months ago you opened a door and you need to walk through it now.’
